SELECTION FOR ADMISSION

The Centre for Distance Education is an integral part of the University and an expression of the University’s concern and commitment for spread of education in all strata of society and all parts of the country. An interesting observation is that the desire and demand for education exists in many sections but due to the fact that Colleges and Universities cannot accommodate beyond a particular limit, many cannot find admission. There is also a large section of society which is unable to participate in the normal stream of education due to occupational, financial or social constraints. All these persons can get an opportunity to derive the benefits of education through distance education.

By taking advantage of the advances in information and communication technologies to widen the reach of education and to enhance quality of education through the use of multi-media methods of teaching and learning, the Centre aims at giving the students an opportunity to learn and appear for the examination of the course which will be conducted by the University. Adopting flexible and innovative methods of education to ensure ‘independent learning’ to anyone, anytime and anywhere, the Centre offers programmes of the study that are customized to meet the learning requirements of knowledge seekers as well as to ensure that they learn at their own pace and convenience. Within the financial means of University, due care has been taken to keep the cost of education low so that educationally backward sections can take advantage of University’s programmes. Centre for Distance Education has a special commitment to the cause of Women’s education, particularly of the minority community, among those who are educationally and economically deprived section. Given an opportunity to study at home supported with study materials, women can benefit immensely from this programme.

 

The Aligarh Muslim University is a premier Central University included as an institution of ‘National Importance’ in the VII Schedule of the Constitution of India with several faculties and maintained institutions drawing students from all over the country and from foreign countries including SAARC and Commonwealth Countries as well. Imbibing the objective tenor of the west and preserving the oriental tradition, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, the great visionary, established the Mohammadan Anglo-Oriental College on May 24, 1875 with a resolve to initiate western education amongst Muslims and liberate the Muslim mind from out moded patterns of thought and behavior. Sir Syed thus visualized its future:

….. This college may expand into a University whose sons shall go forth……..to preach the gospel of free enquiry, of large hearted toleration and pure morality”.

This vision became a reality when in 1920 this College matured to the status of the Aligarh Muslim University ever expanding, diversifying and relentlessly working towards keeping its promise to the commitment of its founder. At the very inception Sir Syed made a distinction between Talim (education) and Tarbiyat (training), the former preparing an individual for an occupation and the latter geared toward achieving refinement. The residential character of this University where most of the staff and students reside on the campus itself contributes greatly to the country’s multi-religious, multi-social and multi-lingual character.

There are twelve faculties and 91 Departments of Studies with a teaching strength of 2,530 faculty members disseminating knowledge to more than twenty eight thousand students. Amongst some of the chief institutions maintained by the university are Zakir Hussain College of Engineering & Technology, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College & Hospital, A.K. Tibbiya College, Institute of Ophthalmology, Ziauddin Dental College, the University Polytechnic, the University Women’s Polytechnic, Institute of Islamic Studies, Centre of West Asian Studies, Centre for Advance Study, Department of History, and five high schools including one for blind students.

The Womens’College is an integral part of AMU. The pioneers of womens’ education, Sheikh Abdullah and his wife Ala Bi, resisting severe opposition, eventually succeeded in supplementing to Sir Syed’s Mission by establishing this institutions that admits more than 1500 girls to various undergraduate courses.
